I want to share my honest experience to help other parents make an informed decision. I have to be honest and we were so excited to start this daycare originally. The Positives: • The facility itself is beautiful – modern classrooms and a stunning playground. • Most of the staff were friendly and caring toward the children. The Concerns: • Frequent “sick” calls: We were contacted multiple times a week to pick up our daughter for being “unwell.” On several occasions, she wasn’t sick at all. • Understaffing issues: Some younger staff admitted they were short-staffed, which appeared to be the real reason for the frequent pick-up calls. • Lost or stolen items: Over time, we had bottles, shoes, clothes, and personal items go missing. Even after raising concerns, it continued to happen. • Inconsistent handling of belongings: Staff were seen handing out other children’s bottles or saying “just grab one,” despite items being labelled. • Financial strain: Overtime charges added up quickly, and the centre was not flexible with hours or billing delays. • Poor support during relocation: When we had to urgently move away for safety reasons, our situation wasn’t handled with care or understanding. We continued to be charged for weeks after notifying them. - lastly, my daughter being injured by other children older children had scratched my daughter pushed bitten those sorts of things of course she didn’t end up reacting eventually but when you’re putting a one year-old with school age children I think it’s something that needs to be addressed. Overall: While the centre looks amazing, our experience was disappointing and stressful. Unfortunately, the constant staff shortages, loss of belongings, and lack of communication made our lives more difficult, and we ultimately had to move our daughter elsewhere.

We honestly couldn’t be happier Little Scholars Deception Bay North. My son was actually asked to leave his previous daycare due to “issues,” and when we enrolled here I made sure to explain everything that had happened. To my relief (and honestly, surprise), none of those problems have ever shown up here. The educators are caring, patient, and clearly know how to bring the best out of each child. My kids come home every day telling me it was “the best day ever.” In fact, just today my 3-year-old walked out beaming and said, “I love school.” That’s all the reassurance I need to know we’ve found the right place. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a safe, supportive, and genuinely positive environment for their children.

The staff are lovely and have always gone above and beyond

Absolutely fabulous child care centre which also has some amazing staff who are beyond wonderful.

Shanelle, Bliss and Tamika are so warm, caring, patient, and it’s clear how much they truly love and value the children.
